Register your USB Security Key with Duo for Multi-Factor authentication.
Wheaton’s IT department will provide a faculty/staff member with a device called a USB Security Key only if they do not have a smartphone capable of Multi-Factor authentication. If you have a smartphone but choose to not use it for Multi-Factor authentication, you can purchase a USB Security Key on your own. Please note, if you plan on using the FortiClient VPN a USB Security Key will not work. The FortiClient VPN only supports the Duo “push” method through the Duo Mobile app on a phone. The two USB Security Keys we recommend are the Google Titan Key and the YubiKey 5 Series.
1. If you have not self registered yet for Duo, please visit the OnCourse site and login and get to the point in the registration process where it asks you to register a device (see screen example below). If you have already registered with Duo and would like to add a USB Security Key to your account, clear your browser cache then login to OnCourse and select the option on the left to “Add a new device”.
